Ingredients

2 cups crushed gingersnap cookies
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 (14 ounce) package caramels
1/3 cup half-and-half cream or milk
1 1/2 cups cold milk
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

In a bowl, combine the gingersnaps, brown sugar and butter; set half aside. Press remaining mixture onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Cool completely. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt caramels. Stir in cream until smooth; set aside.
